I discovered that after enabling all settings, Aero Peek worked. After toggling them all off and enabling them one by one, I discovered that only three are required for Aero Peek to work:

Animate controls and elements inside windows

Enable desktop composition

Use visual styles on windows and buttons.

The one that I had turned off that was preventing it from working originally was the first one -- Animate controls and elements inside windows -- which was a little surprising. Also interesting was that "Enable transparent glass" does not have to be enabled.

I haven't had Aero peek working since i installed 7, but now after this it seems it works, but it is very finicky. I have to try shaking it many different times for it to work. Is there some special way I should be shaking these windows or something?
